BSB "This Is Us" Tour Feb 28th 2010 @ Suntec City - Pt 1 Arrival
Finally mustering up the energy and the memories to do this, so here goes nothing.
Woke up far FAR too early Sunday morning to get to the airport on time, since for the past few days the scheduled flight from Manila has been coming in half an hour early. After a long train ride, I get there only to find out... that the flight has been delayed by almost an hour (gods this does not surprise me one bit, I mean, what are the odds that today of all days!)... though this kind of worked in our favor a little later on...
At least it gave us enough time to gather everyone together and have some breakfast. Let's take a look at who else joined me in the day's madness (LOL, in order of arrivals):
Vanessa (bsbfan4life), JM (trumpeterofdoom), Mars, Yokey, Julianna, Janice, Jamie (bsb87angel), Shela and Azizah (kevslady73) ... geez, that's about 10 of us in total? Hahahaha XD
After a McD breakfast we made our way to the arrival gate and proceeded to stand there all lined up like a bunch of... fangirls. All was well for a while...
Unfortunately it was a Sunday, and it wasn't long before we had more and more girls show up (I'd say 'fans' but that would be stretching it) - and not the good kind. The absolute WORST kind of fangirls one can ever encounter in real life: the Hysterical Screaming Teenager. They should be counting themselves lucky that I didn't have a weapon of some sort with me or they'd have been knocked unconscious or worse.
They completely RUINED any kind of Meet moments we could have had with the Boys, since thanks to the screaming and attempted mobbing, the Boys' security pretty much went to code red and hustled them out to the vans quickly. *sigh*... I could keep going on about the unbelievable STUPIDITY, ANNOYANCE and other assorted colorful, non-PG descriptions of these girls in the hopes that they read this and realize just how IRRITATING and what fucking LUNATICS they were, but I don't have much time right now.
Not to say there weren't plus points. Nick was grumpy and unfriendly (haha, what else is new?), Howie was smiley, AJ... umm... ask JM XD... and oh! Brian saw my Juni with his little signs and pointed at him and went "oh how cute!" Score one for Juni!... And Nick scared the crap out of Howie as they were running out to the cars, by coming up behind him and grabbing his shoulder. Howie pretty much jumped out of his skin thinking it was one of those moronic fangirls, and then swore at Nick when he realized who it was. That was pretty funny to see honestly.
So while the rest of the nuisances mobbed the vans and threw the Boys in to a pretty foul mood, I pretty much decided, fuck this. There was no way we'd get anything with them here. So Vanessa, JM and I dashed off in the opposite direction from all the chaos, ran to a few exits looking for a cab and finally hopped into one.
Awesome driver. Pretty much told him, "when you see these vans go by, follow them like there's no tomorrow"... I think he was highly amused. At least we spiced up his morning, and he was on their tail the whole way XD. Q's van passed us at one point and he saw us and waved. When we got to the city we were all trying to figure out which hotel they'd be staying in. Pan Pac, no. Marina, no. Oriental, no... OH HOLY CRAP, RITZ CARLTON?!?! O_O;
Uh... yeah. Surprisingly none of the teenyboppers were around or had followed. Heh, not pro enough I guess. So after we got out and sent the cab off, we just stand there, watching the Boys get off the vans; Q looks over at us (I think he was wondering if we were gonna rush up or something) and all we do is say "Hi Q!" then turn and walk off... XD I'm pretty sure he was going WTF or something - all that chasing just to say Hi to him?
Break time, and we spent the next couple of hours crashed at a small cafe at neighboring (and connected) Marina Square. Re-grouped with some of the others we'd gotten separated from at the airpor and scribbled out a few more signs. Got to see Q and Josh again when they came by for who knows what... and there we are just chilling at our table and not even bothering to get up and go press them for information XDDD.
Showed them some of the paper planes we'd folded. Q instantly knew what they were for XD and says to Josh and us, "see now THIS is how you fold a paper plane! this is exactly how I made them that time and they flew!" Hahahahaha! "You girls coming to the show tonight?" No, Q, we do all this for giggles because we have too much free time XD.
Then it was time to make our way to Suntec, change and head up to level 6 concert venue... and begin another round of 'hurry up and wait'. Everything runs on Backstreet time on concert days honestly -__-;; ... including Soundcheck registration. Heh... had one bimbo, wannabe-gothic lolita chick come over to us and ask if we knew where the Boys were staying... Erm... like we're gonna tell you? bitch please! I don't really care. If WE didn't go hotel stalking this time round, what makes you think we're going to give out that information to you? Especially since you're part of that group of Hysterical Screamers? Pffft... go do your own research...
Justin finally appeared around 5-plus and we managed to get our passes transferred, and we officially went into the Soundcheck around 6pm... More to come on the Soundcheck and Concert next entry... Stay tuned
